"Unable to read block ..." message is hard to understand

[another_sam]

Today, while trying to install Kubuntu 9.10 on a machine at an Install Party, we found that the installer produced several "Unable to read block ..." messages.

I just realized that this message has no mean to the user because it was not enough to allow him to infer that probably either the CD was damaged or the optical drive was damaged.

I think the message should be something like "The CD is damaged or the CD player is damaged".

I don't know to which package this feature belongs to.

This message is not, as far as I can see, generated directly by the installer. In order to figure out where it came from, we need the *full* *unedited* text of the error message. Thanks in advance.

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

Sorry. I did not answer because the answer to Colin's request is "I don't have the full text". It was at an install party and I did not transcript the message. In that time I thought the involved stack was simpler; and someone could find the string just from a report like the one I wrote.
